Privacy Policy
Version 1.5 · Effective 1 October 2026
Saymore is an audio social app for iPhone. This page explains what we collect, who can see it, and how to delete it. "We" means the Saymore team, based in the United States; you can reach us at support@saymore.network.
The short version
- What you post is public to people using Saymore: your recordings, their titles and descriptions, and your profile. A post's title and your display name can also be seen by anyone its link is shared with.
- Your email address is used only to sign you in. It never appears on your profile.
- What you save, who you've blocked, and who listened to what are private. Nobody else can see them, including the person who posted.
- There are no ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, and no analytics or advertising tools in the app. We don't sell your information.
- You can delete any post or reply, or your whole account, in the app.

What we collect
Your account
- Email address. Saymore signs you in with a six-digit code sent to your email. There's no password.
- Profile: your username, display name, bio, and a profile photo if you add one. We keep earlier versions of your display name and bio so moderators can review reports about them.
- When you agreed to the terms and community rules, and which version.
What you post
- Recordings and uploads you post, with their title, description, length, the shape of the waveform shown on the post, and, for a scheduled post, the time it should go live.
- Uploaded files (from Files, or the sound of a video in Photos) are converted on your phone to plain audio before they're sent, which drops the file's hidden details such as location and device. Our servers convert it again and keep only the audio.
- We keep a private copy of the file exactly as the app sent it, next to the processed audio, until the post is deleted.
What you do
- Follows and reposts.
- Likes. We store which posts you like. Like counts aren't shown on posts; likes are used to rank replies in a discussion. If the person who posted has notifications on, they're told who liked it (for example, "Dana and 3 others liked your post").
- Saves, your private bookmarks.
- Listens. A listen counts after 3 seconds of actual playing, once per person per post in 24 hours, and never for your own posts. To avoid counting twice, we briefly keep a record of who listened to what. Older records are cleared as new listens come in, and all of yours are deleted with your account. Only the total is ever shown.
- Blocks you make.
- Reports you send: the reason and anything you write.
If you ask to join the beta
The form on saymore.network sends us your name, your email, and anything you add about what you talk about or who you'd want to hear. It arrives as an email to our support inbox (through Resend) and isn't stored on the website. We use it only to invite you to the beta and to reply to you, and we delete it if you ask.
If you turn on notifications
A code from Apple that lets us send notifications to your phone, and whether it's a test or App Store build. We store which of the four kinds you want (new posts from people you follow, replies to you, likes on your posts, new followers), and a record of what we sent you for 30 days so we don't send too many or the same one twice. The code is removed when you sign out, delete your account, or remove the app. A notification shows the other person's display name and the post's title, including on your lock screen.
If you ask to be verified
Your name or business name, a category, a contact email, and up to five links. Only moderators see these. They're deleted with your account.
Technical information
Our hosting providers keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and request times, for security and fixing faults. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, Apple may send us crash reports, which don't include your posts or messages. The app doesn't collect your location, contacts, or photos library, and it uses the microphone only while you're recording.
Who can see what
| Information | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Posts, replies, titles, descriptions | Anyone signed in to Saymore, except people in a block with you |
| A post's title and your display name | Also anyone with that post's shared link, on its web page and in link previews |
| Username, display name, bio, photo, verified badge | Anyone signed in to Saymore, except people in a block with you |
| Who you follow and who follows you | Anyone signed in to Saymore, except people in a block with you |
| Your reposts | Anyone signed in to Saymore, on your profile and in your followers' Home |
| A post's play count and reply count | Anyone who can see the post |
| Your likes, saves, and listens | No one but you (listens aren't shown even to you) |
| Who you've blocked | Only you. A person you block isn't told. |
| Your email address | No one on Saymore. Our team can see it to run your account. |
| Reports you send, verification details | Moderators |
| Drafts | Only you, on your phone. They aren't uploaded until you post. |
A scheduled post isn't visible to anyone until it goes live.
Shared links. When someone shares one of your posts, its link (saymore.network/p/…) opens the post in the app for people who can see it there. Anyone who has the link can also see the post's title and your display name on its web page and in the preview apps like Messages draw for links; the preview image is Saymore's own, the same for every link. Nothing else is shown there: no audio, description, username, or counts. That page can't know who's looking, so it can't apply blocks; it shows nothing once a post is removed, and nothing for a scheduled post or a suspended or deleted account. A shared profile link (saymore.network/@username) shows only the username that is already in the link; the page looks nothing up, so it can't say whether that account exists.
What stays on your phone
- Drafts: recordings you haven't posted, with their titles and descriptions, stored in the app's protected storage.
- Audio you share to Saymore from Voice Memos, Files, or Photos is copied into space shared by the app and its share extension, and waits there until you next open Saymore, which turns it into a draft. If you never open it, it's deleted after a week. The share extension doesn't upload anything.
- Your sign-in session, in the iPhone Keychain.
- Settings such as appearance and autoplay, and a short queue of listens waiting to be counted (post identifiers only), which is dropped after a day.
Signing out or deleting the app removes your session. Deleting your account also erases your drafts from that phone.
How we use it
- To run Saymore: sign you in, store and play posts, show feeds, profiles, discussions, and transcripts, count plays, and send the notifications you've chosen.
- To keep it safe: review reports, remove content, suspend accounts, and stop spam and abuse (for example, limits on how often you can report or edit your profile).
- To keep it working: fix faults and restore service from backups.
- To answer you when you write to us.
We don't use your information for advertising, and we don't sell or rent it.
Moderation
Posts go live once our servers have checked the file is valid audio. People aren't reviewed before they post; instead, anyone can report a post, reply, or profile. A moderator then reviews the report. To do that, they can listen to the reported audio, see the profile photo and earlier versions of the name and bio, and see who sent the report. Moderators can dismiss a report, remove content, reset a profile, or suspend an account. Every action is recorded with the moderator who took it.
The services we use
These companies process information for us, only to provide their service:
- Supabase: our database, sign-in, and file storage. Your account, profile, posts, and activity live here.
- Railway: runs the program that checks and converts audio, sends notifications, and finishes deletions.
- Deepgram: turns each published post and reply into the written transcript shown in the app. It receives a temporary link to the audio once it has been published, and nothing about who recorded it.
- Cloudflare: keeps backup copies of published audio and our deletion log, and hosts this website.
- Resend: sends the sign-in code email, and delivers beta requests from the website to us.
- Retool: the tool our moderators use to review reports and verification requests.
- Apple: distributes the app through TestFlight and the App Store, delivers notifications to your phone, and provides crash reports if you've chosen to share them.
These services may process information in the United States and other countries. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect people from serious harm.
Deleting
A post or reply
Choose Delete from its ••• menu. Its title, description, audio, and transcript are removed, and it becomes a "removed" placeholder so other people's replies stay in place. Someone already playing it may hear up to a few more minutes, because playback links expire after five minutes.
Your account
In the app, open Settings → Delete account and confirm with a fresh code from your email. Your account is hidden at once. We then remove your profile and photo, your posts' and replies' audio, titles, and descriptions, your follows, likes, saves, reposts, blocks, listens, verification details, and your drafts on that phone. Your email address and sign-in are erased last, once the audio is gone; this usually takes minutes, and our system retries for several hours if something fails. Other people's replies to you stay, next to a placeholder. Your username becomes free for someone else.
What we keep
- An anonymous record that an account existed, with no email or profile.
- Reports you sent, and the moderation record of any action taken, so decisions can be reviewed.
- Our private processing records for each upload, which include its title and description as submitted.
- Our deletion log, which lists only identifiers and times (see Backups).
Backups
We copy published audio to backup storage at Cloudflare. When audio is deleted, its backup copy is deleted too, before the deletion is marked finished. We also keep a deletion log of which items, accounts, blocks, and reposts were removed and when (identifiers only, no content), and copy it to backup storage every hour. If we ever have to restore from a backup, we replay that log first, so nothing you deleted comes back. Our database provider may also keep its own backups for a limited period.
Age
You must be at least 13 to use Saymore, or older if the law where you live sets a higher age for using services like it. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child under 13 is using Saymore, tell us at support@saymore.network and we'll delete the account.
Your choices and requests
- Edit your display name, bio, and photo in Edit Profile. Usernames can't be changed.
- Delete posts, replies, and your account in the app, as above.
- Block anyone, and see or undo your blocks in Settings → Blocked accounts.
- Choose which notifications you get in Settings → Notifications, or turn them all off in your iPhone's Settings.
- To ask for a copy of your information, or with any other privacy question, email support@saymore.network from the address you sign in with. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights over your information, and you can complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and its version and date, and tell you in advance of any significant change. Questions: support@saymore.network.
